THE BEAST

Today, uprising Finnish black metallers  Nocturnal Sorcery  stream the entirety of their highly anticipated debut album,  The Holy Law in Total Ruin , at  the No Gleaming Light YouTube channel . Set for international release on August 19th via  KVLT , hear  Nocturnal Sorcery 's  The Holy Law in Total Ruin  in its entirety exclusively  HERE .

Hailing from the ever-fertile Finnish black metal underground,  Nocturnal Sorcery  made their public debut in 2014 with the  Satanas Angels Victory Call   demo. With vocalist/guitarist Maledictus Vult hailing from the cult Sadokist (he has since departed that band), it'd be erroneous to say that  Nocturnal Sorcery  were a completely brand-new entity. Nevertheless, they continued to feed the (freezing) fire with a split with Daemonlust in 2017 and then another demo,  Symbols of Violent Death , in 2019. During all this, a number of successful local gigs took place.

The stage thus set,  Nocturnal Sorcery  arrive with their long-awaited debut album,  The Holy Law in Total Ruin . Aptly titled,  The Holy Law in Total Ruin  lays waste to unbelievers who say black metal must "progress" to survive. No, black metal doesn't need to be more than what it already is - BLACK METAL - and  Nocturnal Sorcery  deeply understand this intrinsic truth as they unfurl nine screeds of hateful-yet-melodic classicism that's paradigmatically Finnish through and through. While much of the album's 46-minute runtime is composed of concise slices of cryogenic filth,  Nocturnal Sorcery  are just as adept at stretching compositions to extended lengths, patiently building tension and immersing the listener in the iciest waters. Completing the totality is the occasional inclusion of tastefully subtle synths.

March on the bones of the old with  Nocturnal Sorcery , because when the dust settles, there'll be  The Holy Law in Total Ruin !
